Hey everyone! I am happily announcing that I successfully invaded the Island Garden City of Samal yesterday, September 12, 2005. I know I (or we, my classm8s) shouldn’t have enjoyed much since it was the 9/11 commemoration the day before. But well, what else should I be doing in that fantastic haven with pure white sand and sparkling blue waters? Splashing, swimming, relaxing, and screaming!

It may be ‘cheap’ to feel like this, but it’s my first time ever in that place! To be honest, I have never crossed the sea before. Though it’s only a 15-minute trip, it still felt very amusing.

I’d like to thank my groupmates in Achieville Advertising Firm for the brilliant idea, and to my mom for providing the fare and allowance. You guys are SOOOOOOOOOOOO C-O-O-L!

Pictures will follow after a week… hehe… kelangan pa kasi i-develop eh… i’m out!

Dream Journal # 1                                                                                Date:   

Sept. 2, 2005

            Starting today, I will be writing dream journals for each day. I believe that dreams can help you prepare for the future since they show what your inner selves both want and dread. My first dream documentation will begin on the first day of September, which is yesterday.

            Last night, I remember dreaming of my first crush who I will call Nick Garter. Obviously, his name is a spoof after the popular boy band member Nick Carter. He is equally good-looking. I consider him as my first Prince Charming. He looks like a royal bachelor, always wanted by the feminine race. He’s not really the ‘Crush ng Bayan’, but at least I would love to think so. He is my childhood… friend? Or sweetheart? I don’t know what word to use. I could say we shared some very unforgettable moments. And I know we were almost mutually attracted. Or, weren’t we? Anyway, this is what happened in my dream about him last night:

Me and some friends were walking on a, somewhat, park where there is a funeral and a wedding going on side by side. After a split second, we were riding a tricycle and passed through the middle of the funeral and the matrimonial ceremony. Along the way, I saw familiar faces – Nick’s mother, and a guy with brown hair. Beside the coffin, a man is talking on the microphone. He said Nick’s father is dead and his loved ones should be strong enough to face the future without him. Nick’s mother started crying hard. The next thing I knew was that, a few meters away from the funeral and the wedding, me and my family are dancing and singing ‘HUMAYO’T IHAYAG’. It’s a song from our retreat which I really love. After singing, a guy said ‘HI’ at my back. I turned to face him, and I saw Nick! He was still cute and amiable. His brown hair kind of flickered under the sun and he looked so damn hot. I said ‘HELLO’ and turned to face my other friend whom I can’t recognize. He then held my hand and pressed my palm with his index finger. It was a bit malicious. I reacted quite awkwardly. And, we just stared at each other’s eyes.

            There is a great contrast between a wedding and a funeral. I don’t know what the wedding means but I am hoping that the death of Nick’s father would come 30 years from now. I still want him to attend his son’s wedlock with me. I also want him to see his grandchildren grow into responsible and loving people. I’m ambitious, I know. But what can I do, this is my journal?

            I hope that one of these days I can bump into my Prince Nick so we could exchange greetings. But even if he doesn’t say a word, I guess a simple smile would suffice to brighten each day of my life.

            Good luck to both of us. And now, I’m looking forward to another adventure in my solitude tonight.   

                                                                                                - Strawberry OJE -

Just a smile

Barbie Almalbis

I wanna tell you everything, easily

Won’t you come up closer

I’m walking down the street

I’m lost at sea

You make me feel like I

Can get lost inside your eyes

I wanna meet you someday soon

‘Cause I know you in my mind

You can take the whole wide world

With your boyish charm

But even as you pull me close

I won’t just stay in your arms

You make me feel like I

Can get lost inside your eyes

Well it’s for you and everyone

I thought I’ve searched the world in vain

Now look at me

And the search is done

We will never be the same

Not the same

You make me feel like I

Can get lost inside your eyes

I feel closer to the sky

When you save the day

With just a smile

Oh you make me feel like I

Can get lost inside your eyes

I feel closer to the sky

When you save the day

With just a smile

Just a smile, a smile

Just a smile

now here’s me again with a short post about my MC 350 subject also called as Non-Linear Video Editing… interesting,aiyt?!… im on my senior year in college and i should have taken this subject on my junior year… but unfortunately, i wasnt lucky enough to reserve 1 of the 14 limited units of powerful iMac computers in our division… another nice thing,huh?!… i’m now trying to work on my editing skills… i’ve previously done a documentary with 5 of my classmates last summer… it’s fun, but exhausting… i feel like i’m the "HAWD-EST" (Mam Daph says) of the class… hehehe… but i do know the basics,at least that makes me a little advanced… im taking editing lessons every Saturday which means you will have to spare that time for me to shoot and create a magnificient MTV/film… dont disturb me ok!

i guess this ain’t as short as I’ve early mentioned… so i’ll stop now… thanks for reading!

well, well, well!…here’s writing my 1st blog for every lovable human to read!… for my 1st topic, i’d just like to express my dislike to that war of the worlds story… all along, my poor soul thought that Tom-my cutie was the "great hero", but it eventually came to be a THANKS-TO-THE-BACTERIA-OF-GREAT-GRAND-EARTH case!

ahh…not again!… spielberg loves doing alien movies… but human protagonists are almost always useless in defeating those ill-mannered non-humans!… it’s like he(or the writer) wants us to applaud the power of those sickening bacteria to save the world! it’s a good thing that my immune system is healthily working…(^_^)

but anyway, thanks to the brilliant effects and animations that brought the ’spielberg trademark’ to hollywood! … and yeah, Dakota Fanning is some wild kid! very adorable! and that guy… ‘forgot his name… dunno if his last name’s Chatwin or Chadwick… whatever! he’s got nice eyes!… i dream of him every night!

umm… i think i gotta end this… i still have some daydreaming to do… au revoir!
